Exam 1 will be this Wednesday, 2/10, and will cover through continuity (section 17).
Structure of the exam
Your one homework set will be part of the exam
It will be primarily computational and conceptual
I'll give you a problem or two that may require more time (e.g. a mapping problem) to hand in later.
Today's activity, and new assignment:
Mon
2/8
15-17
Prepare for exam. The exam will cover through section 15.
No new reading or problems.
Section 15: Theorems on Limits
(Limits exist) iff (limits of components exist)
Given that limits of f and g exist at z0. Then limits of sums, products, and quotients exist, as expected (usual caveat for quotients -- denominator doesn't go to zero)
Section 16: The point at infinity
We extend the complex plane by adding the point at infinity!?
Riemann sphere (p. 49), and the stereographic projection between the complex plane and the Riemann sphere.
An neighborhood of infinity is the set of points
Theorem (p. 49):
iff
iff
iff
I'd like to see if we can make the correspondence between points and the plane and points on the sphere explicit, by coming up with an equation for the one-to-one correspondence.
Section 17: Continuity
Continuity of Polynomials
Continuity of Rational functions
Continuity of compositions of continuous functions
and others....
